In this paper, we present a new method for fuzzy query processing for document retrieval based on extended fuzzy concept networks. In an extended fuzzy concept network, there are four kinds of fuzzy relationships between concepts, i.e., fuzzy positive association, fuzzy negative association, fuzzy generalization, and fuzzy specialization. An extended fuzzy concept network can be modeled by a re...

This paper presents a new method for document retrieval using fuzzy-valued concept networks, where the relevant degrees between the concepts in a fuzzy-valued concept network are represented by arbitrary shapes of fuzzy numbers. There are two kinds of relevant relationships between any two concepts in a fuzzy-valued concept network, i.e., fuzzy positive association and fuzzy negative associatio...

This paper is on the solutions of fuzzy initial value problems for fourth-order fuzzy differential equations with positive and negative fuzzy coefficients by fuzzy Laplace transform. Examples are solved. Conclusions are given.

in this paper, we use parametric form of fuzzy number, then aniterative approach for obtaining approximate solution for a classof nonlinear fuzzy fredholmintegro-differential equation of the second kindis proposed. this paper presents a method based on newton-cotesmethods with positive coefficient. then we obtain approximatesolution of the nonlinear fuzzy integro-differential equations by an it...

We extend some results obtained in 1998 and 1999 by studying the periodicity of the solutions of the fuzzy difference equations xn+1 = max{A/xn,A/xn−1, . . . ,A/xn−k}, xn+1 = max{A0/xn,A1/xn−1}, where k is a positive integer, A, Ai, i= 0,1, are positive fuzzy numbers, and the initial values xi, i=−k,−k + 1, . . . ,0 (resp., i=−1,0) of the first (resp., second) equation are positive fuzzy numbers.

in this paper, we use the parametric form of fuzzy numbers, and aniterative approach for obtaining approximate solution for a classof fuzzy nonlinear fredholm integral equations of the second kindis proposed. this paper presents a method based on newton-cotesmethods with positive coefficient. then we obtain approximatesolution of the fuzzy nonlinear integral equations by an iterativeapproach.

in this paper the solution of a second order linear dierential equations with intu-itionistic fuzzy boundary value is described. it is discussed for two dierent cases: coecientis positive crisp number and coecient is negative crisp number. here fuzzy numbers aretaken as generalized trapezoidal intutionistic fuzzy numbers (gtrifns). further a numericalexample is illustrated.

in this paper, a novel hybrid method based on learning algorithmof fuzzy neural network and newton-cotesmethods with positive coefficient for the solution of linear fredholm integro-differential equation of the second kindwith fuzzy initial value is presented. here neural network isconsidered as a part of large field called neural computing orsoft computing. we propose alearning algorithm from ...
